FIAS Fellowship programme

For the 2027/2028 academic year, 29 fellowship positions are now available across 7 Institutes for Advanced Study in France.
The application platform is now open!

FIAS is an international mobility programme that offers high-level scientific residencies in the seven IAS of Aix-Marseille, Cergy, Loire Valley (Orléans-Tours), Lyon, Montpellier, Nantes, and Paris. The standard duration of the residential fellowship is of 10 months over an academic year i.e. from September through June.

The FIAS Fellowship Programme supports high-quality innovative research as resident fellows conduct their project with the greatest academic freedom and benefit from the stimulating scientific and extra-academic support provided by the host institutes. 

Initiated in 2020, the FIAS Fellowship Programme will now run until the 2029-2030 academic year. During the past five calls for applications (2021-2026), 136 fellowships were granted to experienced researchers from all fields of social sciences and the humanities and other research fields at the interface with these sciences.
